Initially, I wanted to stylize them as dinosaur fossils placed in a museum setting but then decided not to, as the skulls did not seem very recognizable on their own, especially with broken or missing parts. This is why I opted for a less damaged look and also added some assets to each of the characters. To make it more cartoonish, I decided to contrast the realistic look of the skull with colorful flat backgrounds.

The main goal of the series was to improve the sculpture and experiment with the workflow from Zbrush to Substance Painter. For each skull, I tried to adjust and improve the workflow, which resulted in quite visible differences between the first (Canis Goofus) and the last in the series (Anas Scroogius). Throughout the series, I’ve also tried to push the procedural capabilities in Painter.
